Both men and wome wore robe like attire. The difference consisted of the material used in the belts and the woman's robe had a fancier hem (sp?) to the robe. Don't believe me go check it out.
Here is a link that has some interesting points about seperate dress.

It's more than that. It's finding our place and following the convictions we feel that God has placed in our own individual lives.
We can't even look back at the OT for this.
The world is in chaos, the church world is in chaos.
We just need to find where God wants us. I will also say when a person finds that place, for them, and it happens to be the UPC, we need to leave them and their convictions alone.
It's one thing to debate here, as we often do, but if someone feels that is what they need in their life to stand before God, we need to leave that alone.
Not everyone can live the same way. Not every person will have the same convictions. Some are stronger by personal choice.
We need to respect each person's decision and consecration.
